NFF Leadership Under Fire: Coalition Demands End to Sanusi’s Tenure
The Coalition of Nigeria Football Lovers has condemned the proposed tenure extension of Dr. Mohammed Sanusi as General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), describing it as “unacceptable”.
According to Adegboyega Olaitan, National Secretary of the Coalition, “This move is unacceptable, considering Sanusi’s 10-year tenure has been marred by significant decline and underachievement in Nigeria’s football.”
Olaitan emphasized the importance of football in Nigerian society, stating, “Football plays a critical role in harmonizing Nigerians, transcending ethnic, religious, and geographical divides. It is imperative that the NFF leadership prioritizes the development of the sport, rather than perpetuating mediocrity.”
The Coalition criticized Sanusi’s leadership, highlighting its failure to translate Nigeria’s abundance of talented footballers into tangible success. Olaitan noted, “Sanusi’s leadership has failed to yield success, and it’s time for a change.”
The Coalition urged stakeholders to reject the proposed extension, with Olaitan stressing, “It’s time for a new era of leadership focused on revitalizing Nigeria’s football and harnessing its potential for national unity and pride.”
The Coalition’s stance has sparked hopes for a brighter future for Nigerian football. As Olaitan concluded, “We demand a new era of leadership that will revitalize Nigerian football and harness its potential for national unity and pride.”
This development comes as Nigerian football fans eagerly await change, seeking accountability and reform in the NFF leadership.
